recently, a female fighter was molested by a man, which attracted the attention of netizens. on september 7, the weibo @警民直通车-静安 reported that the man zhou was detained for molesting others. however, her behavior of not fighting back made her suffer "cyberbullying". "my social media exploded, and many people scolded me for not fighting back." ms. xu said. (according to the shenzhen newspaper group's dute news on september 9)

ms. xu said that she raised her fist and then put it down because she thought that she learned martial arts not to commit violence but to pursue her dream. at the same time, she was afraid that the man would be seriously injured if she fought back, so she did not fight back. to be honest, her handling of the incident was very rational. first, she led the man to a bright place, and then called the police.

some people say that what is the point of learning martial arts if you can't even protect yourself. objectively speaking, this view is problematic. it was precisely because she learned martial arts that she had the confidence to handle the incident calmly and keep the development of the matter under control.

another detail is that the man had a knife on him. if she fought back and the man took out a knife, the emotional state of both parties might cause the situation to deteriorate further, resulting in casualties. finally, even if ms. xu "wins", is she acting in self-defense or excessive defense? i'm afraid she will face a series of scrutiny.

it can be said that it was because she handled the incident rationally that the incident was simple and clear, and the negative consequences were limited. the man is now under criminal detention and will inevitably pay a price.

on august 22, a chinese woman named ms. zhang posted on a video platform, saying that she encountered discrimination and insults from a foreign man in phuket, thailand, which eventually led to a physical conflict. ms. zhang tore the foreign man's shirt in the resistance, which attracted attention. ms. zhang later revealed that she was the owner of a local boxing gym. many netizens applauded this incident, and even called ms. zhang "the most courageous woman."

many people cited this example and said that ms. xu’s behavior was not satisfying.

the lawyer said that everyone has the right to defend themselves when they are illegally violated. however, whether it is legitimate defense or excessive defense depends on the specific circumstances at the time, and whether the timing and intensity of defense are within a reasonable range. if the defensive behavior obviously exceeds the necessary limit and causes major damage, it is very likely to evolve into excessive defense. if it is determined to be excessive defense, the party concerned will not only bear legal responsibility, but may also bear civil liability for compensation.

in fact, the specific circumstances of each case are different and cannot be simply compared. when the situation is controllable, calling the police is undoubtedly the best option. the lawyer also said that when women encounter situations that pose a direct threat to their lives, such as rape, intentional injury or murder, they should give priority to using all possible means to protect themselves. defensive behavior in such extremely dangerous situations is usually recognized by law as legitimate defense.

therefore, when women are illegally harmed, they cannot simply use resistance or non-resistance to determine whether they are right or wrong. in the case of obvious physical disadvantage, simply fighting back may cause more serious harm, and the parties can adapt to the actual situation.

netizens should be tolerant of ms. xu's choice. the way the victim defended her rights at the time cannot be simply said to be right or wrong, nor can we examine and "find faults" afterwards. when the situation is controllable, using violence to fight back against the other party may seem to relieve anger, but it may not be the top priority.

this case just shows that women learning some fighting and self-defense skills can help protect themselves. they will be more confident when encountering problems, and they will be more rational. in short, what netizens should criticize is the man's forced indecent behavior, not the victim. the target should not be off.
